The weird transpilation system constantly breaks. I guess maybe one day they'll be better tooling around this, but it's not there yet. And I've worked with node in some capacity since 2013, things always feel fragmented and broken

Have you tried Vite[0]? It's an amazing dev server I learned about in an HN post. It does a fabulous job of TS transpilation and has many other niceties for dev work.

BTW, with modern browsers, why would you need to transpile JS (as opposed to TS)?
